Starliner Kustoms Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Started this a while back hope to finish by the end of the month. Basically it is an out of the box build other than the Crager SS wheels. I decided to go with rally stripes and surprisingly being my first time painting them, I feel pretty good as to how they came out. I used Tamiya White primer as my base then Tamiya Bright White for the first top coat once that dried for a few days I masked off the stripes and sprayed Tamiya Bright Orange for my color coat. And last but not least once that set up, I shot it with a few coats of Testors Wet Coat Clear. After the paint is gassed out a bit I will polish and chrome what I need to. I did do some chrome prior to paint and polished the spots lightly. I also decided to chrome the edges of the fender gills just to break up the area a bit (still needs work). I hope to post more as I go along. if not, I will definetly post when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Great looking build so far. The painted stripes look much better than the decals, they just never look quite wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starliner Kustoms Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 I agree plus, I could never seem to get them in place without cracking or just falling apart. Even with the solvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
